[Guest guest]

,

Thank you so much for the prayers. He seems to be doing ok. He's

abit grumpy, but I know that's due to his heart attack and not being

abole to work right now. Once he has his stress test and knows

approximately when he can return to work, he should be better. Am

staying in AZ as long as I can with him. His daughter is in college

and not living at home and only has his 16 year old son living with

him. And he is a bit nervous. My mom came and got my kids so they

could return to school and my job was very understanding and has

given me as much time as I need.

Thanks again.

Hugs,

Yes Donna, she survived to continue to terrorize me. I think she

thinks that's her purpose in life. I've told her she's lucky she's

lived this long. There were days I seriously had my doubts. But,

she is my oldest and I've learned a lot from her as well. She's a

great kid really.

Will admit, it's probably the most scared I've ever been. Couldn't

imagine loosing one of my children. God has blessed me with my and

my future step children. And I want more. God willing.

Just lookin at the thread ( my emails don't come in order LOL so i get lost )

what is it with tonsils. My youngest had his removed almost 2 years ago and

altho I wasn't there i was talkin to them every other day. He had the same

problem they kept spontaneously bleeding for almost a month afterwards. Not

being there I didn't get to talk to the doctor so not sure why and didnt get to

throw any suggestions. But I know this child lives to scare me! Hes so tiny

still and altho was the healthiest baby has had the most health problems since.

The doc that did Kim's tonsils said there is a 1 in 100 chance of

hemmoraging after tonsilectomy. Apparently, Kim's left tonsil pole

split and caused the hemmorage, she lost 2 pints of blood and was

rushed into emergency surgery to stop the bleeding. She was 16 at

the time and that made it worse on her. The older you are the worse

it is on you. She was a sick puppy for a while and scared to death

to eat for a while. She lost 29 pounds before she gained any

confidence to eat once again.

Her best friend just had his out last month and was back in the

hospital for severe dehydration within 5 days. He was 18.

Anyone mentions getting their tonsils out around her and she will

look at them in a panick and say " PLease Don't " . I can't say that I

blame the child.

Now, she is perfectly healthy and doing great. Just something she

won't ever forget.

Donna,

You are gonna laugh your tail off when I tell you this. My soon to

be DH and I were chasing each other around the bedroom yesterday

afternoon and he lundged at me to try and catch me and when I jumped

ot avoid being caught, I kicked the dresser corner with my left

foot. We heard something crack and in about 20 minutes time my foot

was black and blue, swollen and hurting quite a bit. So...off to the

ER we went. Verdict....Broken foot. Now in a cast and on crutches.

Now that you guys are all laughing, and I'm sufficently embarrassed,

but hey....Now, I'm getting waited on hand and foot and am getting

dinner cooked for me by soon to be DH. Soon to be step DS & DD are

teasing us unmercifully about it.

Live and learn...Been staying off it as much as possible. When not

sleeping due to Vicodin for pain, I've been on the couch most of the

day with foot propped up. My soon to be DD did go to the store and

buy me some yarn so I could start crocheting.

I hobble over here to the computer to check postings.

Have a great evening, ladies.

Hugs to all,

I made them for my daycare kids a couple years ago. I put their names on them

with fabric paint and some decorations. Every one of them still uses them.

Pam

Pam,

I have tried different things to raise the money. So far nothing

else has worked out very well. I guess I was thinking of the Bible

verse that asks what we have in our hands. Well I have a stash of

material that I had no idea what I what going to do with. I have

been finding different apron patterns at yard sales. I really wanted

to make my granddaughter one for Christmas. I have figured out how

to do it without a pattern and that will be my first one. I have got

a selection of cookie cutters to go with it. Someone on the other

group was talking about being frugal and one way was to wear an apron

to help save wear and tear on their clothes. I was chicken about

mentioning my idea of making apron but I did it anyway. I was very

surprised and plesed at the response. It has really lifted my

spirtis and I am able to do things to day that I have been wanting to

for months but just couldn't get going at.

Hugs,

Doreen,

Never be afraid to mention something. Girl, you will find you have

talents exclusive only to you.

I have a bunch of material pieces from my great grandmother to quilt

with but don't have the heart to use them because I'm afraid I'll

screw it up big time.

I can do counted cross stitch and crochet afagans, that's it. I have

no other artist talents. You're apparently blessed with the ability

to sew. Hon, I'm lucky to be able to sew on a button. No joke.

We're here to support and encourage you no matter what you try.

Remember that.

What else are friends for?

Go forth and create. And if you can make some money for it. Then you

have a true God given talent. Self confidence girl...keep telling

yourself I'm good at this and others should see how good you are.

Hugs,
